I need answers please, I just differed my admission and gotten a new admission letter, what next should I do, should I pay the tuition deposit as I didn't pay it when I first applied

Which school?

Kidsister13:
Good morning Nairalanders.

Please kindly come to my aid. The school I applied for just told me it will be online and if I dont receive a study permit they won't refund my fees as I will continue the study online.

Help me out with another school please. I am a Microbiology graduate with experience in quality assurance. I also have NGO volunteer work experience. Jan 2022 is my target please. A 2 year PGD course is what I seek for.
Lambton have closed all applications for 2022
Costegon have similar courses but it's majorly 1 year.
Please kindly help me as time is of the essence. Thank you please

Name of the school?

joy2dworld4eva:
I tried paying for spousal application processing fee of $Can1,135 with my GTbank ATM naira Mastercard but it was bringing out error message. I don't really know the exchange rate but I have over 500k in the account with the hope that it would be enough no matter how much the exchange rate would be.
Is it possible for me to pay with the GTB card or there's another payment option that could work.
Thanks as I await your kind responses.

Gtbank card won’t work because is only having $100 limit.

Try to fund barter, though the exchange rate is high 525 to 1 USD

olabisi6438:
Hi guys good evening.

Can I submit my Visa application without my parents marriage certificate?

Seriously is not that necessary based on my experience.

Chinnychappy:
Please is it advisable for a 1month preg woman to start graduate admission processing to schools in Canada or to wait till after birth of child

Yes kindly proceed

Testimonytime:
Just realize my school said they do not want electronic transfer. I am so confused.

Which school is that?

Subbyshal:
Guys please how much do people send through UPS, they are telling me 16k to and fro

Kema22:
Has any May applicant gotten a decision without NSE?
Or a ghost update or has eligibility review started?

Lots

dammy135:
Please help me out. I submitted my application for study permit just now using my Access Bank Visa Card but it was declined and I could not resubmit again as the page to continue my application is not editable again.

Please help

You need to wait for some time….like few hours before resubmitting it again

EnnyOneda:
Hello everyone. I am a newbie on nairaland and so hardly post, but read a lot. I am a JANUARY 2020 applicant and after 17months of waiting, I received my approval in June. Arrived Toronto today. Will share my timeline and experience once I have settled in. This is just to encourage us, that God never forgets, He will come through and you will testify.
Thank you all for the wonderful information posted here which helped at one point or the other.

Congratulations

Yes

Zocken:

Blazca:

You need to send the e slip to IRCC using web form or through Email.

okhueleigbe:
I tried paying for ihs with a dollar card the payment keep declining

Is it a dollar card from one of the Nigeria banks?

sexydamsel4luv:
Hello Everyone, please I applied for a visit visa last year and I intend to apply for a study permit soon. Is it possible to run two applications ? Will be waiting for a response. Thank you.

Yes you can run both at the same time.

Good luck

Echogrey:
A very good morning to you all. It’s PPR!!

Wow! IRCC really toyed with my emotions o. In fact, I had decided my timeline would be very straightforward because of how they dragged the whole thing. It was just frustrating. But, to do that will be unfair.

Although I had submitted my application before I joined Nairaland, I must say that it’s been such a pleasure being on this platform. People are ever ready to help. Let’s all endeavor to continue with that spirit wherever we find ourselves.
I really enjoyed reading good news (which went a long way in keeping my hopes alive) and I also said a little prayer in my heart for those who were refused. All will be well.

SO…snippets of information about my application:

I am going for my Masters of Law (LLM) at Western University (London, Ontario) to resume September 1.
Please feel free to reach out if we would be neighbors! Lol

I was offered about 90% scholarship and I indicated my mum as sponsor to cover the remaining tuition fee and living expenses.

First time applicant.

To Note:

My permanent residency application which I submitted since December 2020 is still being processed. Dual intent comes in here!

General documents:

- Degree certificates/ transcripts.
- Certificate of incorporation (ONLY) of father’s company and mother’s company.
- Certificate of incorporation (ONLY) of mum’s foundation.
- Mum’s Share certificates
- CV
- Int. Passport bio data pages for parents and siblings
- Sworn affidavit of one and same person (my names are all over the place lol)
- Police character certificate
- IELTS result (L8,W,8,R8,S8.5)
- Mum’s C of O for just one property (no valuation report, etc., ONLY CofO)
- Proof of mum’s past and current employment
- Letter of support from mum (sponsor)
- Mum’s 1 year mybankstatement
- Scholarship package from my faculty

Home ties:

1. Work ID card, Letter of introduction from current employer indicating my salary, benefits, etc., (and also stating that I will be granted a study leave once my study permit has been approved).
3. I also downloaded my appraisal notes where my supervisor made very nice comments about my work in the Firm and my good character ( The appraisal notes also stated that I was recommended for promotion).
4. I am also a trustee in my mum’s foundation (the certificate of incorporation shows my name as one of the trustees)
5. Fact that my parents and 2 younger siblings are in Nigeria. I am the first child of my parents.

Proof of Personal Assets:

- 3 months payslips and statement of salary account (the balance at the time was not too significant- I only highlighted salary inflow)
- Statement of Retirement savings account and reference letter from Stanbic pension managers

Dual Intent:

I felt like I really needed to let them know that I would leave Canada (after my authorized stay) in the event that my PR application is refused so I added a bit more documents like:

- Character reference letter (from a former employer) who is also a notary public.
- Affidavit of good conduct stating that I will abide by the relevant laws and would not stay in Canada beyond the authorized period.
- I also stressed in my LOE, my frequent travels to the US and UK over the years so they know I will respectfully comply with their immigration laws and not overstay illegally.

Timeline:

- Application Submission: 30 March 2021 with NSE documents and upfront Medicals (which I used for my PR application)

- Review of Eligibility Start Date : 14 April 2021

(Caught more than 5 ghost updates )

- Medical Request : 10 June 2021

(Informed them via webform that I had previously submitted my medicals and it is still valid)

- Medical Passed : 14 June 2021

- BVL : 8 July 2021

- PPR: 9 July 2021

God bless us all and grant us our heart desires! Happy to answer any questions!

Cheers, guys!

Congratulations

@Frankrobbn1,@Lianna2020 please need your advice. I posted couple of question about 13th years old student going for high school. Is the process same as undergraduate and post graduate.

I just check with a bank if its possible to pay school via bank and they said no.

What should we do. Can we do NSE without ielts for the student.

You can go for the normal route if they finally requested for NSE.
I have a brother that got his application approved following the normal route.

I send you PM check your email.

Good luck
